Chapter 16: Green fang
"It's pretty impressive for just high school students, right? And this isn't the only one. This is one of the many underground fighting clubs spread through the whole country. Although this is just a small one," Kai revealed to Gary who was still a bit taken aback at the idea that people his age would gather in secret to watch others duke it out live.
'If this is considered 'small', just how large is big for you?'
Gary found it hard to comprehend since he guessed that there were at least five hundred people present. On closer inspection he noticed another thing, those teens and tweens seemed to be gathered in groups, each wearing their own sort of uniform. It looked like a club meeting from all sorts of different schools were going on.
Kai, having a keen eye, noticed what Gary was looking at.
"Remember what I said about many people from different school groups being here? Those school gangs take this thing here quite seriously. The reason they dress the way they do is so they can make a name for themselves. Just like with the gangs, the idea is for you to see their clothing and instantly know who they belong to. It might sound impressive for a bunch of students to organize all of this... it's because the ones responsible are the gangs."
"Gangs?" Gary gulped looking around to see if he could see any well known ones amongst them. "Do you mean like the Underdogs?" Referring to the gang Gary used to work at.
Kai couldn't help but chuckle seeing Gary acting so nervous.
"Do you think the Underdogs would come down here personally? This here is the VERY minor leagues, basically just a gathering of a bunch of no name schools, or what we refer to as 'loners' attempting to join one of the other gangs, proving their strength."
"Still this is technically a recruitment field and there are scouts from gangs here, but they would be like D-Tier gangs. They either absorb one of these smaller gangs into their own, or look at who they can snatch up and join their gang in the future. You know, since guns are now non-existent, knowing how to use your fists or a weapon is a big deal. At the bigger events there are even those that are Altereds."
What Kai was referring to was the 'Harmful Weapons Act', which came into play a little after they had been born. With how fast and how bad the world had been deteriorating, countries were worried that World War Three could start at any moment and humanity would just end up destroying the planet.
So a pact was agreed between every single country. To get rid of all weapons, nuclear weapons, missiles, tanks, anything of mass destruction. With technology it was nearly impossible to hide anything from other countries, so they couldn't even build things in secret.
This just made the development of Altered growth between countries, as they strived to create the perfect human being.
What shocked Gary, was there were apparently things like this going all over the place that he didn't know about. The underworld was certainly another side that people didn't see unless they were involved in it and more importantly invited.
"So what are we doing here?" Gary asked, as the two of them started to push through the crowd, until they eventually reached the outer edge. The onlookers had formed a natural large rounded ring to not interfere with the fighters. For those that were in a difficult position, the fight was being live streamed and others could watch it on their phones and devices.
"Well, remember what I said about loners not belonging to a gang? It's easy to see who is part of one and who isn't by their colours, or more accurately the lack thereof." Kai pointed out.
Gary could see there were quite a few people that weren't wearing any obvious colours, like the ones currently in the ring.
"Wait, what are you saying?"
